According to Dr. Prasad, the woman suffered cardiac arrest at the polling booth. Recognizing that he had no pulse, the nephrologist in Bengaluru immediately started performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). His intervention successfully revived the woman, who regained spontaneous circulation shortly afterwards.

Dr Prasad shared a photo of the woman lying on the ground and a video in which she is seen awake and lying on a stretcher.

When Dr. Ganesh checked his health, he found that his pulse was fluctuating. No reaction was seen in the body. The doctor immediately performed CPR and his health improved. Later, the staff on election duty arrived and gave him juice and took him to the hospital in an ambulance. Giving information about this, Dr. Ganesh Srinivas said, ‘Seeing the woman falling, I ran to help.

I checked his pulse and it was very low. While examining his eyes, there was no reaction. His body showed no reaction and he was suffocating. I immediately performed CPR and his condition improved. Then the election duty people ran and gave juice. An ambulance was called and he was taken to the hospital. If there was delay in treatment, his life was in danger.
